High quality interconnects - bargain price


Guys - Just wanted to pass along something that I stumbled across while setting up a home recording studio.

http://www.guitarcenter.com/Roland/Black-Series-Dual-RCA-RCA-Interconnect-Cable-15-ft-Black-15000000...

These were only $22 for the 15ft version (that I needed), have a stranded OFC copper core, Poly insulation, Conductive PVC sleeve, Spiral braided OFC shield, etc.  They are described as "low capacitance" and have a lifetime guarantee too.

Lots of bang for the buck and work great.

Just thought I'd pass it along since we oftentimes overlook pro-audio equipment as a source for our stereo systems.

I have been using the top interconnects from MG Audio Design.  Although they are not cheap, nothing can come close for the price.  I first learned about them from a review in TAS by Arnie Nudell.  He and his friend PulMcGoern, of PS Audio, both use them.  Anyway a one meter pair costs $1600, but you can order a half meter pair for only $900.  I find them simply incredible, and I figure if they are good enough for Arnie or Paul, they are good enough for me.
The correct speaker placement is in itself incredibly important as to audio reproduction itself, but has nothing to do with the quality of the interconnects being used, which are also another factor necessary to achieve one's goals.  Anyway they cost money.  How much one is willing to spend is thus another factor to deal with.  My approach is to find the very best product that I can personally afford.  Thus I am presently using MG Audio Design interconnects.  The same can be said as to speaker wires, power cords, plus power conditioning devices.  Altogether they can add up to a serious amount of money, but on the other hand are the price of achieving what is possible.  It is just that I can not afford what Michael Fremmer is himself is using on his own audio system so I try to find lower cost alternatives.  But if one ignores the subject itself, they will never, ever achieve what is possible.
